The two-unit residential building at 4823 N Magnolia Ave in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, constructed in 1898 and currently owned by Green Property Acquisitions, has experienced several notable events in recent years.

Looking at more recent issues, there have been two open 311 service requests related to sidewalk conditions, both filed in August 2024, though the exact nature and severity of these issues are yet to be determined.

Risk rating

How 4823 N Magnolia Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
